Data Center Services

Server room installation is a service that builds the rack, cabling, power, cooling and monitoring infrastructure for servers and network equipment to run safely, within a single plan. We build a server room or data center hall in your own building from scratch, or upgrade an existing room. The infrastructure stays in your building, under your control.

WHAT IT DELIVERS

What it adds to your building

  • 01

    Servers run without overheating.

    We size cooling by the heat the equipment produces, not by the room’s square meters. Hot and cold air do not mix, and equipment takes in air at the right temperature.

  • 02

    Readable cabling, faster fault finding.

    Every cable is labeled and every port is documented. You do not spend minutes tracing cables behind the rack to find a connection.

  • 03

    A power outage does not stop the system.

    We plan the UPS, PDUs and, where needed, generator transfer from a load calculation. During an outage, servers keep running or shut down in a controlled way.

  • 04

    You hear about problems before they grow.

    Temperature, humidity, water leaks and door openings are monitored by sensors. When a threshold is exceeded, a notification goes to the responsible person.

SCOPE

What is included?

Components we install in a server room or data center project:

  • Floor-standing racks, in-rack cable management and grounding
  • Structured cabling: copper and fiber backbone, patch panels, labeling and test reports
  • Raised floor or overhead cable support system (cable tray)
  • Hot aisle / cold aisle layout and aisle containment
  • Redundant cooling plan with precision air conditioning (server room units)
  • UPS, intelligent PDUs and power distribution
  • Environmental monitoring: temperature, humidity, water leak, smoke and door sensors
  • Physical security of the server room with access control and cameras
  • Fire detection with early smoke detection, compatible with the suppression system
  • Mounting, placement and commissioning of servers and storage devices

PROCESS

How we build it

  1. Site survey and inventory

    On site, we map existing equipment, power consumption, cabling condition and the room’s physical conditions. We also discuss your expected growth at this stage.

  2. Layout and capacity plan

    We draw the number of racks, aisle layout, and cooling and power capacity. We plan for projected growth, not today’s load.

  3. Installation

    Rack mounting, cabling, power distribution, cooling and installation of monitoring sensors.

  4. Migration and commissioning

    If we are upgrading an existing room, we move the equipment on a planned schedule. We set a sequence that keeps downtime outside business hours and as short as possible.

  5. Documentation and handover

    We hand over rack layout drawings, port lists and test reports, and set up the maintenance plan with you.

TECHNICAL NOTES

What we look at in the design

Temperature and airflow

The range ASHRAE recommends for data processing environments is 18–27 °C at the equipment air inlet. What matters is not the room thermometer reading but the air temperature in front of the server. That is why we arrange racks in a hot aisle / cold aisle layout, close empty U spaces with blanking panels and place sensors at the front of the racks.

Cabling standard

ANSI/TIA-942 describes data center cabling as a structure divided into zones: main distribution, horizontal distribution and equipment areas. This layout lets the room grow without disturbing existing connections when a new rack is added.

How much redundancy do you need?

Not every server room has to be Tier IV. The Uptime Institute’s Tier classification describes levels of redundancy; the level you need depends on how much downtime your business can tolerate. We decide between N+1 and 2N for UPS and cooling with that question in mind.

Fire detection and suppression

In server rooms, gas-based suppression systems that do not damage equipment are preferred over water. For suppression to work, smoke has to be detected early. That is why the detection system is planned together with the suppression panel and the air conditioning shutdown scenario.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What are the requirements for a server room?

A server room should be an enclosed, dust-protected space with enough power and cooling capacity, organized cabling, physical access control and environmental monitoring. It also matters that no water pipes run through the room and that space is left for growth. Our Ankara-based team assesses these criteria on site across Türkiye and prepares the plan accordingly.

What temperature should a server room be?

The range ASHRAE recommends is 18–27 °C at the equipment air inlet. Overcooling the room uses energy but brings no extra benefit. The measurement should be taken in front of the racks, not in the middle of the room.

What is the difference between a data center and a server room?

The difference is mainly scale and redundancy. A server room is a space an organization sets aside for its own equipment; a data center is a separate facility or hall where many racks run with redundant power and cooling. In both, racks, cabling, power, cooling and monitoring are built on the same logic.

Which fire suppression system is used in a server room?

Gas-based suppression systems are usually used, because water and powder damage electronic equipment. The system is selected based on the room’s volume, how well it is sealed and the applicable fire regulations. The detection system should also be installed to work with the suppression system.

What are hot aisles and cold aisles?

It is a layout where racks are lined up front to front and back to back. Equipment draws cold air from the front aisle and exhausts hot air into the rear aisle. When one of the aisles is contained, hot and cold air do not mix, and cooling does the same job with less energy.
